UPDATE! So my local game shop fixed the motherboard telling me it was burnt. I cant retrieve my Switch till tuesday however so i cant try it out. My question is, with a replaced motherboard, can I still use my Dongle and Tegra? (example SX OS) or should I just get a new Switch since the price of the repair is the same as a new one?

I read on some threads that my dongle will work, just that you need to buy the license again. otherwise it’s fine.

If it is indeed a burned component on the board you might be better off sending it to TronicsFix https://tronicsfix.com/collections/get-started/products/nintendo-switch-repair
He charges $99 for most repairs, and has a YouTube channel if you want to see his work.
But he doesn't normally work on hacked consoles (because of possible software issues that he wouldn't be able to fix, since he's a hardware guy)
If you didn't have AutoRCM installed, it wouldn't be a problem, since without booting into RCM it's just a normal console (assuming you didn't mess with sysNAND...), also if you didn't have AutoRCM installed you might not have run into this issue in the first place. I just don't recommend AutoRCM in general because it can potentially lead to issues, also it could be detected by Nintendo. It's best just to leave the sysNAND stock in my opinion.

If your electrician has told you he has “fixed the motherboard” then I would say you’re ok, if he had said to you “I have changed your motherboard” then I would say no, you’re not!
